Band of Gold (1995)

In the raw and tumultuous world of Yorkshire's shadowed lanes, the lives of five women intertwine in a dangerous dance of survival. Gina Dickson, a young mother shackled by debt, plunges into the harrowing world of prostitution. Alongside her, the emotionally fragmented Carol teeters on the precipice of self-destruction, her grim reality reflected in the lane's cold cobblestones. Rose, a seasoned veteran, rules the lane but feels her grip slipping, while Tracey, a runaway teen, spirals in a whirlpool of addiction, her desperate search for love blinding her to the lane's cruel realities. Anita, a starry-eyed woman, yearns for companionship, finding solace in the most unlikely places—amidst her friends and in the arms of married men. In the face of imminent danger—stalked by mobsters, chased by cops, and hounded by moralists—the women find an unlikely ally in one another. Ignoring Carol's forewarnings, Gina stumbles upon the horrifying depths of their profession, inspiring a daring shift in their collective fate. United by adversity, they abandon the lane's grimy underworld to form their own business, a bold retaliation against the merciless loan shark that started it all. But as they navigate their precarious transition from the lane to legitimacy, their past refuses to loosen its iron grip. Engaged in a perilous game, the women grapple with their haunting past while fighting for a future free from the lane's oppressive chains. Band of Gold weaves a poignant tale of determination and resilience, highlighting the human capacity to seek light, even in the darkest corners of Bradford, England.
